Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Newcastle car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when plans suddenly change. That's why we offer a full refund on many bookings if you cancel a minimum of six hours prior to collecting the car. Remember to double-check the rental agreement — in some cases it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Newcastle?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many visitors to Newcastle. Offering terrific gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're ideal for zipping around the city. A compact has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, which means you can cruise around in a little more comfort. Want something bigger? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newcastle?
Drivers aged 21 and over can road trip around Newcastle in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Newcastle?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Newcastle, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Newcastle?
Yes, and you can find your ideal ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll show you terrific offers from numerous reliable providers.
Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are found in Newcastle. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
